Chapter 358: Returning Home
The Vice Principal of Xiongding High School?
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment before politely responding, "Hello."
"Here's the thing, he wants you to treat his illness", Wang Weidou said straightforwardly.
That was a bit too quick! I haven't even exchanged pleasantries yet... The Vice Principal of Xiongding High School couldn't help but inwardly complain, but he maintained a smile on his face. "It's not a major illness, just a bit of shoulder bursitis recently."
Xu Yixuan and He Datao exchanged glances, their eyes conveying the same thought: He has the nerve to ask Qiao Sang for help with just a minor ailment?
Qiao Sang didn't seem to mind. She simply asked Lulu to use the Healing Light.
Sometimes, personal connections can be more important than material benefits.
"Lulu, use the Healing Light on his shoulder", Qiao Sang said to Lulu, who was in her arms.
Just the shoulder? The Vice Principal of Xiongding High School was momentarily stunned.
"Wait..." The Vice Principal started to say, but before he could finish, a beam of Blue Light shone on his shoulder.
When the Blue Light faded, Qiao Sang asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Ha ha ha, who wouldn't feel better after being treated by an Epic Skill?" Wang Weidou laughed, patting the Vice Principal's shoulder.
"Lulu", Lulu's expression was cold and distant.
She felt that the human in front of her had a good understanding of her skills.
The Vice Principal was silent for a long time before pointing to the sides of his spine and said, "Could you treat these areas as well? Besides the shoulder bursitis, I also have some lower back strain."
He added, "Probably from sitting for too long."
Wang Weidou and Sun Boyi's expressions turned strange as they looked at the areas he was pointing to.
The Vice Principal felt their gazes were quite piercing, but he managed to keep his expression from changing too much.
He had miscalculated. He thought the Healing Light would cover his entire body, who knew it could be used for specific areas...
It's the kidneys... Qiao Sang immediately understood what he was pointing to.
Ten seconds later, the Vice Principal, barely containing his excitement, thanked Qiao Sang profusely and promised to be available whenever she needed him before leaving in high spirits.
Wang Weidou and Sun Boyi left together, seemingly with something to discuss.
Once the Principal and Coach were gone, He Datao couldn't help but mutter, "Such a minor ailment, and he still came to you."
It's not minor... Qiao Sang smiled. "It's no big deal, just a small favor."
Xu Yixuan sighed lightly. "He's the Principal's friend, so it's hard to refuse."
"True", He Datao agreed, pouting.
"By the way, I heard Teacher Sun mention that the elimination round is in three days?" Qiao Sang asked.
Xu Yixuan nodded. "The elimination round usually takes place on the fourth day after the group stage, and this year is no exception."
After a few more words, the three of them were about to head toward the school gate when someone called out, "Qiao Sang."
Qiao Sang turned to see her mother walking toward her.
...
Ten minutes later, high in the air.
Qiao Sang was sitting on the Plump Homing Dove, holding Lulu in her arms.
"Your Principal and that Teacher Sun, and your two teammates, they all seem like good people", her mother said with a smile from the front.
Qiao Sang, recalling how warmly the Principal and the others had greeted her mother, smiled. "They are good people, but it's mainly because my daughter has achieved something."
"You really are..." Ye Xiangting couldn't help but laugh, then said happily, "But you're right."
In the past, let alone the Principal, even teachers wouldn't have smiled and spoken to her so kindly.
"Mom, why did you suddenly decide to pick me up?" Qiao Sang asked. "Isn't the store busy?"
Ye Xiangting replied, "After your last preliminary round, the news about Flame Listener and the Psychic-type incident made the store busier than ever. But I hired an extra person, and since it's not the weekend, I managed to get away today."
"Mainly, the live streaming platform for the competition keeps crashing whenever you appear. I was a bit worried, so I came to check on you."
Qiao Sang was instantly touched. This was the power of motherly love!
At that moment, a mechanical voice came from her mother's mobile phone:
"Journey started. This navigation will provide a full route update. The total distance is 8.5 kilometers. Proceed straight ahead."
8.5 kilometers? Qiao Sang was taken aback. "Where are we going?"
Ye Xiangting said, "I saw a news report saying a Mystic Rift appeared in Hongrao Town. The last time one appeared at the mall, it disappeared as soon as I got the news. I don't want to miss this one."
Qiao Sang: "......"
So you’re actually here to see the Mystic Rift, and you’re just passing by to see me, huh...
...
9:13 PM.
Hanggang City.
Verdant Haven.
C Building, Apartment 606.
In the kitchen, her mother was cooking.
Qiao Sang was in the living room, tidying up the scattered items and pushing the coffee table closer to the sofa to free up a large space. Then, she made a hand sign and summoned Fangy.
"Ya!"
When Fangy appeared, it realized it wasn't in a small room but in the familiar home. It immediately wagged its tail, looking excited.
It happily looked around and then its eyes met those of the Plump Homing Dove, who was sitting on the sofa with a blank expression.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy took a step forward and called out enthusiastically.
"Pigeon!!!"
The Plump Homing Dove let out a terrified scream.
Don't come any closer!
"Ya!" Fangy was stunned.
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
Little Xunbao floated over, using its claws to explain.
"Lulu."
Lulu, lying on the sofa, opened one eye at the commotion, figured out what was happening, and closed it again.
"What's going on?" Ye Xiangting asked, holding a ladle as she came out of the kitchen.
Then, she froze.
Seeing her mother's stunned expression, Qiao Sang suddenly realized she had forgotten something...
"Um, this is Fangy. It evolved in Hongrao Town", Qiao Sang explained sheepishly.
"Pigeon?!" The Plump Homing Dove looked incredulous.
This thing, which was even bigger than it, was Fangy?!
"Ya."
Fangy nodded, looking a bit wronged.
Plump Homing Dove: "!!!"
After a long moment, Ye Xiangting snapped out of her daze and looked at Qiao Sang with a complex expression. "How did it evolve?"
"It was after a competition. Someone approached me", Qiao Sang explained, quickly recounting the situation while glossing over the more serious parts. She didn't mention that the person had three Champion-level familiars, fearing her mother would worry.
"I see." Ye Xiangting returned to the kitchen, looking dazed.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. Was that it? She thought her mother would ask why she didn't tell her right away.
"Pigeon!" On the side, the Plump Homing Dove stood on its toes and patted Fangy's back with its wing, looking relieved.
You've grown so much since the last time I saw you! Amazing!
"Ya!"
Fangy extended a paw and awkwardly patted the Plump Homing Dove.
Not really, not really.
But this pat sent the Plump Homing Dove tumbling to the ground.
"Pigeon."
Qiao Sang glanced toward the kitchen, sat down on the sofa, and pulled out her mobile phone to search for the address of the Lottery Center.
